I think its funny.... if you read the minnesota boards they say "haha we got a 1st pick for rolo, they got robbed" ... then journey over to edmonton boards and it's "haha we got rolo and didnt give up anything except a 1st and maybe 3rd"...

half empty/half full....

Roloson is a good goalie but at age 36 Edmonton definately got robbed. They could win a round if they get in but they will soon discover that the trap system in Minnesota is much more helpful to a goalies career then Edmontons system

Not with Dick Tarnstroms supreme defensive skills, Dickie T. will bail him out

If Philly wants Bertuzzi, it's gonna have to be more than Trashear and Esche. No guarantee Trashear would resign, and Vancouver will want a player that can put up points to replace the offensive production lost with Bertuzzi. I think Todd Bertuzzi will remain a Canuck for the remainder of the season, then he will be moved in the off season.

Well I'm only going off of the theory that Clarke refuses to move Carter or Richards. I would have thrown RJ in there but he's already burned his bridge in Van. Esche, a 1st, and who gets Bertuzzi? Kapanen, Handzus is hurt and it could be serious. Esche, Brash and Rathje clears up enough salary but doesn't help VAN scoring loss.
